The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 21,638 on 7/14/17, as the stock market ended in record territory. The stock market is heating up but a major correction can come at any time and has been long overdue. I just updated my Good Stocks to Buy for 2018.

Shares of Intrexon (XON) will continue to see volatility which is good for trading. XON and HTGM are my top stocks to watch looking forward. China 3x Bull (YINN) and Small Caps 3x Bull (TNA) are strong buys on all major pullbacks in 2017.

Intrexon (XON) - Intrexon (XON) dropped into the $21's recently which caused me to buy and start a long term position. XON has been mentioned as the stock of the decade by early AMZN investor Bill Miller. XON is a strong buy below $20 and that is what I plan to do.

Cara Therapeutics (CARA) - CARA rallied from the $11's to the $14's this week after a positive drug trial. This company has a strong pipeline and shares are a speculative buy between $8-$10 per share.

Apple (AAPL) - Apple (AAPL) is now trending higher into earnings. AAPL remains a strong sell right now because shares are still grossly overvalued based on historical metrics.

IBM (IBM) - IBM is forming a base around $150 and is looking good for the long term. This is a cheapest value tech stock for the money right now.

Tesla (TSLA) - Tesla (TSLA) has seen a large drop ahead of the Model 3 launch. Tesla (TSLA) is a strong buy below $250 on the next major correction. All good news was priced into the stock above $360.

Small Cap Bull 3x (TNA) - TNA continues to trade in this $50-$58 range. TNA is a strong buy below $43 over the next three months.

Shake Shack (SHAK) - Shake Shack (SHAK) has rallied 30% since earnings but is pulling back as analysts see concern over the weather. This is a great long term stock to buy below $30!

Chipotle (CMG) - Chipotle (CMG) is now back below $400 again. I view shares as a strong buy down below $400.

Below is a list of the hottest stocks in the stock market today. I watch these stocks closely in pre market and then look for good trading opportunities right after the stock market open.
